Episode XIII: Conversations on Clouds

[x_boyfriend]

“You miss talking to her no?” a friend asked me once, after our fifth shot of tequila. And so I simply nod my head, and go on to have my sixth.

I’ve only recently convinced myself to speak to her again, if not only in well-measured phrases and obligatory pleasantries. We all have to start somewhere, I tell myself, though sometimes I find it hard

.. I catch myself wanting to talk about clouds. Just clouds. And nothing else but clouds.

id rather talk to clouds.

[x_boyfriend]

you're crazy helga. normal people just want to talk to dogs.

[selloutgirl]

clouds dont bite.

but i talk to dogs, too. am i normal now?

[x_boyfriend]

as normal as the word psycho on your user pic. ha ;)... but hey, it takes one to know one.

dragons are fun.

awww. that's gotta be one of my favorite otter-sides.

do you think it's actually possible, when two people to break up, to be friends and not slightly-bitter-ex-lovers? (not to say that you two are, but i'm just using a catch phrase)

hard question but i really wanna know your thoughts on this.

[nixc]

i know you're not asking for my thoughts, and this has never happened to me, but i do believe it's possible for people to be friends with their ex's. if both parties agree with the break up, neither of them try to cling to the dying/dead relationship, and they're both mature enough to handle it. easier said than done, i guess.

[x_boyfriend]

easier said than done, i guess.

after everything... i find it hard to see any weighted break-up without a heavy tinge of bitterness. i've always wanted to believe that friendship could've always been taken back. but when you think about it... that's the first thing lost.

but nix is right, maturity on both parties is required. a lot of it. maturity will allow both parties to understand where each other stand. and that's only possible through dialogue... conversation... some fucking closure. it doesn't work all the time. not all films end with happy endings. but you owe the audience some resolution. tying up of all loose-ends.

and never ever ever fuck over whom you love.

[selloutgirl]

ive never been friends with an ex, but it is possible. haha. i know someone who's best friends with his ex. =)

To regain a friendship when the feeling is still there is suicide. Or if you werent even friends to begin with. I always wanted to believe that lovers can turn into friends some day, but I guess, the operative word should in TIME.

[pinggoy]

when the feeling is still there

haha shet... sobrang hirap. nakakabaliw.

[aggietha]

That is why I never get to be friends with Edil when we break up, I really dont want to see him, be with him, talk to him. It just hurt everytime :)

[x_boyfriend]

actually i now realize that time doesn't do shit. it's not a factor in anything. i mean, it's been longer than i'd like to admit and i find myself looking back as often as i had been months ago.

it's not time. it's something else.

[homaygess]

there are times you just want to talk them about ants or bugs or feathers ..and that would be good enough. i wished i had a chance to do that with him without the prying eyes of society.

[x_boyfriend]

i wished i had a chance to do that with him without the prying eyes of society.

sounds pretty heavy... y? what happened? for some reason i feel like your situation is pretty... uhm... unique.

[homaygess]

i'd like to tell you but then i'd have to kill you.
hehehehe.

Clouds on windy days

[compufonic]

I've always been fascinated with clouds. They're so peaceful and yet, most of the time, fleeting. Their shapes change in a matter of moments on windy days. A fine metaphor for happiness.
